I just finished my first semester of the Master of Artificial Intelligence degree at UTS. I really enjoyed it! My aim is to continue on and do a PhD. I am interested in LLM reasoning, but the whole reason with doing this degree is to work out what parts of AI interest me the most.
Procrastination Modeling
For the last few months I've been trying to come up with a model for procrastination. Specifically; for the various factors that cause me to delay carrying out a task. Over the weekend I was pondering what I would use the model for. If I came up with an equation which effectively represented the various parameters describing how much I would procrastinate over a given task, what use would it be?
Well, my thinking is that if I have an accurate model of what causes me to procrastinate over tasks, I can then start targeting the various factors. I can create strategies to reduce the impact of different factors, and hopefully improve my own effectiveness. It will also be interesting to see if - by the very act of studying my behaviour - I reduce the amount I procrastinate.
